The Yellow Fairy Book, The Story of King Frost (26), sentence 47

But in the hut her mother was waiting for her return, and as she grew impatient she said to her husband: ‘Get out the horses, old man, to go and fetch her home; but see that you are careful not to upset the sledge and lose the chest.’

Who acts: mother, you, fool · What happens: wait, grow, say, get out, go, fetch · To what, where: hut, horses, home, sledge, chest · Speech: someone speaks here
